“Overall went well, appreciated the help in a relatively short turnaround. Litter box area was a little messy but the place as a whole was as I left it.”
“Tianna always does a fantastic job watching our pets while we are away. She goes above and beyond making sure the animals are feeling comfortable, especially my dog with Anxiety. She updates frequently with great pictures and messages. I will be booking with her again if she is available next time!”
About: I have always had animals my entire life. My parents would raise labs so I have had a lot of experience with dogs. I’ve also had experience with training them and how to properly care for them. I have always had a love for all animals and have always had a pet! I will be a Freshman in college and work a part time job as a cna but I would have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I take my dogs on a walk everyday. I love going on walks and playing with dogs! I currently have three dogs myself so I have plenty of experience with taking them for walks, making sure they are outside enough, and getting quality time. I am also good with using commands and making sure they are always safe. I also have cats so i am very experienced with their needs as well!
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and have hands on experience with everything from playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions! Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or keeping them active with fun activities, I’m all about ensuring dogs are happy, healthy and safe. I’m quick to pick up on their unique personalities and always ready to give them the attention and care they deserve! I’m currently working a job during the week days. I am available for dog sitting and walks throughout the day, evenings and weekends. I’m flexible with scheduling and can offer personalized care, whether it’s for a few hours or checking on them overnight. Your dog will have my full attention and care during that time! Whatever your expectations are with your pet and your home, I will follow. I fully understand having a routine with your pets and wanting to stick to that all while offering them socialization and exercise too!
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a kid. I even used to show my dog in 4H dog shows! I love any dogs small and big! I’m currently working part time only so I would love to take care of pets during the day or even over night when I can! I have a pretty big yard and can take dogs on walks when they need. I can let them out/take on walks when they need!
“I have had Mariyha check in on my dogs several times now. She’s wonderful! I always know they’re being well taken care of so I can enjoy my time away!”
“Meagan was an absolute gem to work with. I used her for drop-in visits for my fussy feline so I could attend a family wedding out of state. She is extremely responsive and caring, detailed and thorough. I received regular updates and pictures after each visit that made me feel very comfortable and reassured that cat was being well cared for. I will definitely use her again - without a doubt.”

“Grace is awesome! She’s responsible and reliable. Her pictures were great and put my mind at ease. Thank you Grace! Will definitely book you again.”
About: I would be great with both dogs and puppies due to having my own. I know what they need for potty training, care, and attention. Not only that, I love all dogs and it would be my dream job to play with them all day :) I work part-time at the Scoreboard Pub and Grille, and babysit as well, but have multiple days off throughout the week. During my free time i’d like to walk dogs or watch them! In my home, my dog is kenneled when nobody is around. She is a very trustworthy dog, but I think it keeps her trained. If I watch for others dogs, then I will do what they think is best for their dogs!

“If you're looking for someone you can truly trust to care for your pet while you're away, look no further, Alli is the perfect choice. A devoted animal lover and proud owner of three dogs, Alli brings both experience and compassion to every pet she cares for. She goes above and beyond to meet each animal’s unique needs, and I never have to worry when my fur babies are in her care. Knowing they’re safe and loved gives me complete peace of mind. Alli is my go-to pet sitter, and her genuine love for animals leaves a lasting impression on everyone who works with her.”
